Overview

Prospective cohort study finds abnormal shock index relates to higher mortality in pediatric sepsis, suggesting its use in risk assessment.

Key Points

  • Abnormal shock index values indicate a higher mortality risk in pediatric sepsis, with rates of 21.6% observed.
  • At admission, 57% of children with sepsis showed abnormal shock index values, with implications for immediate care.
  • Logistic regression analysis confirmed that abnormal shock index post-admission correlates with increased mortality.
  • The findings highlight the importance of shock index monitoring in improving survival rates in resource-limited settings.
